These are usually designed by an in-house designer. Would bet this is no different.

Thanks for your help and quick response guys.

Reminds me of this horrid thing:

I mean, I'm not a [physically] violent person, but if I ever run into
the guy who made that "g" I swear I'll mash his head into a pulp.

Schizophrenic bloke, I say. :^D

"Dang, I can't decide werther to use a single- or double-storey 'g'. But hey, waitaminnit! What if..."

I just said 'good grief' out loud when I saw that...I never really eat those so I hadn't noticed it before.

Schizo for sure, Yves!

I, too, was looking for this font. Although you all mentioned that it was custom work, I was wondering if anyone could please recommend a font that appears to be similiar. I am currently doing a parody project, and it would be great if I could find something that is relatively similar.

Thanks!

It has a passing resemblance to Korinna Kursiv or Benguiat, but neither of those is even very close. I can't think of a font that would be closer. (This is a good example of why people use custom lettering as part of branding. It makes it a bit harder to imitate.)

Mark,

Thanks for your suggestions. Those fonts definitely fit the bill for my project. As the saying goes, "close enough for government work." ...or my work, for that matter!

Anyway, I appreciate your input.
